Tips To Avoid Encroaching On Your Neighbours
In general, buying or selling property is a fairly drama-free affair. That is, until your neighbour claims that you have encroached on his property. That is where all the fun begins. Actually, a friend has actually experienced this. He had a fence built around his newly bought house, only to find out later that his fence to the right actually sat on his neighbour’s property.
Lucky for him, it was just a simple fence. If the encroaching structure was anything bigger than that, it would have been a pretty costly proposition. You can only imagine how much of a hassle it would have been for him if the encroaching structure was a veranda or eaves that cross into the airspace of his neighbor. Even worse would be if the encroaching structure was a swimming pool that he has poured a lot of money into.
The thing is, property encroachment can actually be avoided before it happens. If you want to avoid encroaching on your neighbours, we’d like to share some tips in that regard.
